Mo Farah,
Mo Farah ended the Sainsbury Grand Prix the way Birminghamd DL fans love it: with a win for Great Britain! Mo Farah took control with less than 800 meters and was victorious over Hagos Gebrhiwet and Yenew Alimarew. In fourth place, back five seconds was Ibrahim Jelian, the defending champion in the 10,000 meters from the Daegu World Champs!
Mo Farah had this to say about his victory:
“It was important that I won the race. The conditions were tough today.
It was a tough field so I’m really pleased I came through it with a victory. It’s important that I keep working hard now and get ready for the World Championships.
Training is going well so I’m quite confident now.
I got a massive roar from the crowd which was good. It reminded me of the atmosphere at the Games, I’ve got great memories from London so that was great today.”
